Celtic are interested in signing Asmir Begovic from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Star.

It has been reported that the Scottish Premiership outfit have shown interest in the Bosnia and Herzegovina international goalkeeper this summer.

Competition for Celtic

Celtic, though, are not the only club who are reported to be interested in securing the services of the 32-year-old in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Star, Watford, his former club Stoke City, Fenerbache and Olympiacos all are looking at the possibility of signing him.

Good signing for Celtic?

Begovic is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League and is hugely experienced.

There is no doubt that the former Premier League goalkeeper will be a brilliant signing for the Hoops, and he will be an upgrade on what the Glasgow giants currently have.

The big question is whether Celtic would be able to afford Begovic. According to Spotrac.com, the former Portsmouth and Stoke City goalkeeper – who won the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2016-17 – earns £70,000 per week as salary at the Cherries.
